Aaron and his Norwegian Fisherman's Beard..

Aaron here, I bumped into on the crossing, by my local café..

I gave him my card and here a few weeks later we shot these..

His Norwegian Fishing Beard is coming along nicely and I'll shoot it again, once it has it's own post code...

By chance Arron brother Mickey, has this awesome moustache, that is crying out to be shot..

So that will happen at some point in the not too distant future...

Bas's Skull, Darren...

So I went into BMF, for a PPM yesterday, with my wife's college Bas, who receive this beautiful Joshua Harker Skull, for his birthday recently...

It's exquisite, it was in a box on his desk and he kindly let me bring it home to photograph..

Here are some of the images, I don't think I can really do it justice, it's quite something..

It looked like a Darren to me, so here is Joshua Harker's Skull, Darren..

Freckles.. Sisters, Claire & Ruby..

As part of my ongoing series on freckles, I’ve recently shot another old team mate, Dave Bruce’s kids, Claire and Ruby..

Claire use to come to watch us play on a Saturday and always has had these great freckles.. Now at the ripe old age of 10, I thought it would be great to shoot a portrait of her, before she got too old and started losing the freckles..

Ruby her older sister came round too and though she doesn’t have as many, is at that next stage in life as a teenager..

Their mum and I observed the shots and compared the two of them, coming to the conclusion, that their eye colour was really their only main similarity..

Colin & Friends...

Earlier this year I worked on a series of images for an art director friend of mine Dave ‘Gibbo’ Gibson.. I never uploaded my favourites and thought it was time I did so..

I love dogs and love working with them, it’s like shooting kids, you never really know what you’re going to get…


Sounds like a line from a film..


My dog Monty, will be jealous..

Brendan Maclean.. Hair Lip, Burger Me.. KD Lang

A highly flammable T-Shirt, covered in burgers, a Macca's staff badge, 2 pickles, a gold fluffy blouse, a granny's blouse, a pair of clippers and a Gillette Mac3 Turbo..

+ Brendan Maclean and this is what comes out at the end of the shoot..

This is my Hair Lip, Burger Me.. KD Lang image.

Smokers.. Outside the TAB..

I've never been a betting man ever, but many many moons ago I did smoke.. Years later though, I hate with a passion..

What a hypocrite...

Next door to my local café, is a betting shop, the TAB.. Everyday dozens of blokes spend hours on end, spunking their cash. In between bets they're all out the front smoking away, then littering the pavement, with their butts..

So the other day I decided to go tweezers and zipbag in hand and take a selection of these butts and try to shoot something with them, here are the results..
